Have you lived all your life in a San Diego home? There’s a great chance that your sewer piping is broken in some places. The more time has passed, the sooner you’ll need to replace or repair your sewer lines. The risk of being inconvenienced when that sewer pipe finally breaks will greatly affect your day-to-day living. There’s a new way of repairing or replacing that old sewer pipe, and it’s called trenchless sewer repair.
With knowledge on today’s latest innovation in sewer repairs, property owners can deal with any problem they may encounter. Complicated networks of sewer lines may need the attention of an experienced San Diego plumber, but you as the homeowner should also be aware of how your plumber will fix your pipes without any major digging. Here are a few information about how trenchless sewer line replacement and repairs work.
Trenchless Sewer Repair VS Traditional Sewer Repair
In the past, sewer line repairs were often associated with a tremendous amount of property destruction in the form of digging. The plumbers needed to unearth the whole pipe line groundwork in order to see where the problem was. Aside from hiring the plumbers to fix the pipes, you would need to hire contractors to operate the heavy machinery. When everything is done, you would need to hire a landscape designer to put all those land back to where it was.
All that can be skipped when you opt for the newer trenchless technology. The process has been made easier and more advanced. Most homeowners will delight in the fact that it causes less destruction to their property. First, the trained plumber drills a small hole to where your piping is, then insert a fiber-optic camera to find where the problem lies. Finally, a new pipe is put in place. It’s clean, easy and takes less time than the traditional methods.
Trenchless Repair Methods
There are 2 ways on going about the trenchless sewer pipe repair and replacement method:
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting involves pulling up a new pipe along the old sewer lines, practically bursting the old pipes apart into the surrounding soil. The new pipe is made of a better material that can last for more than 50 years.
Pipe Lining
This trenchless method involves a resin-coated, flexible tube to slide into the damaged pipes. The flexible pipe is inflated once installed in place. It hardens after a few hours. This new tube will be your new pipe from now on. CIPP, or cured in place piping is also more durable, lasting and resistant to common sewer line problems such as rooting and corrosion.
Which Trenchless Innovation is Right for You?
The new repair methods have opened up great solutions for your damaged or broken sewer and drain lines. To know which of the two innovative methods are better for you, you’d need to consult with a professional trenchless technician. The two methods mentioned above have saved endless driveways and front yards from getting excavated. Homeowners are satisfied with the service and just how convenient these modern repairs are.
